“Ethan is amazing! Hands down best person that could’ve watched Joey! He did everything possible to make sure i was comfortable throughout the day and made sure Joey had the best time under his care. He ran with Joey when he wanted to sprint, allowed him time to play outside and sniff around, made sure he ate, etc. I couldn’t be happier.”

“Excellent experience with Shvinder! She did a great job for us, was very professional and showed genuine caring and kindness for our older dog Bere. I recommend her with confidence and plan to request her anytime we leave town.”
“Meg was great with our big fluffy guy for our last minute long weekend away. She came and stayed at our place and sent us regular updates. We would definitely use her again. Thanks Meg!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I can remember. Friends and family always come to me to watch their dogs when they need it! I am very trustworthy when coming to pet sitting. I do weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I can occasionally do weekdays. Depending on my school schedule I can accommodate to your needs for pet care (Monday and Tuesday if needed). I am willing to sleepover at the owners house, I will feed, walk, and care for the dogs thoroughly. If not sleeping over I will be there routinely for the dogs.
“Tina was a super dog-sitter. She handily juggled 3 pups, including an elderly dog with multiple feeding and medication challenges. She also took great care of our home. Very caring and responsive. Our girls loved her!”
“Lina has done house sitting for my dog Zues twice now. Each of these trips were long weekend outings. Both times I have come home to my house exactley as I left it and my dog disappointed I'm not Lina! Just kidding! But I can tell he has a good time with her and that she gives him plenty of attention while I'm gone. Lina stays in good contact with me while I'm away, and will send pictures if you ask for them. In a nutshell, Lina is trustworthy, caring for your pet, clean and reliable. In my book that's all you need!”
“Diana watched our two pups Nellie and Emma in our home for one overnight plus full day. We met Diana at an initial meet and greet and both our dogs immediately trusted her. Our one dog Nellie is a bit afraid / shy usually when she first meets someone but Diana she felt drawn to. So when Diana came to watch our dogs for the full overnight, it was great to see Nellie and Emma thrilled to see her and immediately starting playing with Diana. I received frequent updates from Diana and I felt so comfortable knowing Nellie and Emma were being well cared for. Thank-you Diana for everything! Will definitely be in touch to have you watch them again.”
“Andrew Z. is absolutely wonderful, the best sitter we have ever had! He came to our house and watched our difficult, 12 year old dog for over 2 weeks. He had to deal with health issues and the vet and handled everything brilliantly. Our dog was in terrific, happy condition when we returned. We strongly recommend Andrew to anyone..”
About: I've crate-trained my Hungarian Vizsla puppy, and I live with 3 adult dogs so I'm used to many personalities. I was also asked by my neighbor to care for her Bichon Frise when she went on trips. I am currently searching for a job so I have ample time to care for pet-sit, exercise, and spend time with them. I also have a big SUV so I can transport many dogs to a dog park or a walking path away from the house. I take my dogs out about 4 times a day because I'm living in an apartment at the moment. I usually take them for long walks, but I'm very cognizant of the weather and the heat of the ground on their pads. If we were going on a long walk I'd either have to do it in the early morning or night because it's just so hot in the summer.
“Simply put, Joey was outstanding, both with his care of Pablo as well as management of our home while staying here. As a person, he’s a young man of high integrity who is kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented! He loves dogs; kept me posted with text and pics; and maintains a positive and loving temperament. He exceeded my expectations and would give him my highest recommendation!”

Cameron W.
“Cameron loves animals. Like most sane people he prefers them to most people. Saved every penny anyone ever gave him (for years) to come up with money for a dog. He has grown up with a few dogs (and a cat as well). Unlike many children he was super helpful throughout his dog's entire lives. Not simply for the "puppy-moon" phase. He is very bright, graduated Georgetown with a high GPA and very responsible. You will be very pleased with his performance.”
